Regarding Covid 19 We will follow all safety protocols as required by the State of California, the State of Nevada, and the CDC.
The guidance currently requires that everyone must wear a mask at all times while indoors, except when eating or drinking. The guidance may change and we will communicate any changes as they happen.
We will require participants to be ‘fully vaccinated’ as defined by the CDC. .
Peppermill has installed 30 plasma air generators and air purification units that produce an all-natural bipolar ionization that significantly improves the air quality. These units neutralize odors, cigarette smoke, allergens, bacteria and airborne irritants and inhibit organic compounds found in carpet, furniture and cleaning agents. 22 Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) have been placed throughout the property. These ERVs introduce 123,400 CFM of fresh air into the environment, rather than simply recycling the existing air. The Peppermill was recognized by the American Lung Association for air quality and purification efforts.
